Baffert Has Three In Search Of A Fourth Pacific Classic Title

Bob Baffert has three to get ready if he’s going to have four to show in the way of TVG Pacific Classic victories after Del Mar’s $1 million signature event of the summer meeting is renewed Sunday, August 26.

The Hall of Fame trainer, Del Mar’s all-time leader for stakes victories with 97 and counting through Baffertthe first four weeks of the meeting, has nominated 2012 Hollywood Gold Cup winner Game On Dude, two-time Classic champion Richard’s Kid and the resurgent Jaycito for the 22nd running of the 1 ¼-mile race. If all three answer the call to post, it will be only the third time that a trainer has had that many representatives in a race.
